Is it just me, or does it seem like there are less 7 footers playing basketball now in college than a generation ago?

Poor mike Carpenter. Easily forgotten I guess.

Speaking of fewer 7 footers, didn’t Carpenter, VDE and holmgren all sign in the same year? Three 7 footers in the same recruiting class?

Pryzbilla lists at 7 feet1 on wikipedia.

Stockman

I have heard Stockman has 3 inches on Bakary. Expect him to be listed at 7-2, his height in shoes.

Seeing the comparison of Stockman to Breuer, would Tino have recruited Breuer in this era of the 3 point as well as with Tino wanting to run up tempo? This is no slight on Breuer, just a question of Tino's preferences.

I love these completely meaningless statistics, they add so much to our understanding of the team. I’ve always wondered what go-her player had the biggest feet.

Actually, with all of the international players now playing in the US, I suspect there are more. Probably we just don't notice them as much since they aren't as likely to be focal points as they used to be.
